Conversations on Spirit Divine - 3

[Guest guest]

Disciple: - You have described Sri Ramakrishna as an embodiment of Chit Sakthi. That means that He was an incarnation of mother divine who is the presiding deity of the Chin mandala or the state of cosmic consciousness. Am I to conceive Him as Mother divine in a manifested form only?

 

Swamiji: - No, He is everything. You may conceive Him as the deity in whom you find joy in your worship and meditation if you have accepted Him as your chosen ideal. All gods whom He realized entered into His being and became united with Him during the period of His spiritual practices. It is a fact that the mother divine is the highest state of manifested divinity with cosmic state of consciousness. The highest principle known as Brahman is the essence of divine consciousness. That Brahman in vibrant state is called mother divine. Now it is clear that Sri Ramakrishna’s advent was from the highest state of divinity known as vibrant state of Spirit Divine.

 

Disciple: - That state is described by you as the source of all these visible and invisible universes. Then, what is the difference between this great soul and an ordinary human being?

 

Swamiji: - Human beings are born with past impressions and tendencies of innumerable lives. Every action that we do creates two kinds of powers in us. One is the resultant experience and other is an intangible power that will induce us to do further actions of a particular order. Some souls are born with divine tendencies and some others are born with tendencies of worldly nature. Results of actions of any life, if unrealized, are sure to be realized during subsequent lives. Ordinary human beings are born with all these limitations. Special manifestations of divinities like Sri Ramakrishna are born without any such impressions or tendencies. They are a special class having wonderful divinity manifested through their lives. Such great souls are called incarnations of God.
